When I bought the motor the seller had pulled the distributor. I used my thumb in the #1 spark plug hole and turned the motor to TDC.


I'm assuming that you are not blueprinting exact TDC on this deal. What you said; Bump it from the relay until you feel compression building then w a breaker bar continue to hand turn it CW until the marks are at 10BTDC then install dist/rotate housing to where, The vac can is roughly where you want it/the rotor is under (or close to) #1 wire/the closest reluctor blade is dead even w the magnet slot/lightly snugged dist holddown so you can time it when it fires.
